Growing up, I remember having sword drills with your Bible. The idea was that the Bible study leader would call out a verse, and you would turn to it as fast as you could. The first person to get there got to read the verse. You had to really know where things were in the Bible for that to happen.

In the context of a sermon, you could easily get in the situation where you are having a sword drill on screen. How fast can you look up a verse and put it on the screen? If you know it in advance, you obviously have an edge, but what about an extemporaneous reference to a scripture by the preacher? Your presentation software should be able to look up and format a verse reference on demand in real time. That way, you can deliver for the sword drill on screen before the sermon is over.

Easter is really a Miracle. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is an incredible event. When it happened 2,000 years ago, it was unheard of. Today, even with the best of medical science, it can not be duplicated. It surely is a miracle that Jesus was resurrected from the dead.

Why did God do it? To prove to us that He had the power! And that power is what saves our souls. Had Jesus not been raised, His message would have just died with Him. Yet, because He was raised, His Gospel message continues to spread all over the world! Thanks be to God. Christ is Risen!
